After spotlighting the best new pizzas to try around LA right now, we got to thinking: we love egg on pizza. Whether for breakfast, brunch or dinner, the added richness of a runny yolk is hard to beat when mixed in with cheese, sometimes sauce, maybe arugula or something green. You can find a slew of breakfast pizzas around town, some even without egg (think: cinnamon toast with fruit). Check out the slide show below for 10 delicious options, and let us know your favorite breakfast, brunch and/or egg pizzas in the comments.

The slick Downtown spot with the huge windows and fine little street-side patio feels every bit of the urban renaissance that’s happening in the neighborhood. The egg and bacon pizza with fontina, ricotta and an farm-fresh egg is great for brunch, especially with bottomless mimosas.

Served daily on the breakfast and brunch menus at the Los Feliz favorite, the pizza with speck, a sunny-side up egg and mozzarella is always a dream. The one with smoked salmon pizza with crecenza cheese, capers and red onion on whole wheat crust is a close second.

There’s a reason why it’s always busy at the Venice hot spot, and why people are willing to put up with the gruff service, the long waits and the overall attitude: the food’s pretty stellar. At brunch, try the gruyere and caramelized onion pizza with fromage blanc and arugula with the additional sunny-side up egg. In this case, the egg makes the pie.

Chef Michael Bryant’s wood-fired bacon and eggs pizza with pancetta, arugula, parmesan and rosemary is a good the perfect combo for brunch. It’s a bit sceney, but the bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys are worth it.

For savory brunchers, the Long Beach gastropub has an eggs Benedict pizza with bacon, spinach, mozzarella, poached eggs and hollandaise sauce. But for diners with a sweet tooth, there’s the cinnamon toast pizza, a crispy flatbread topped with butter, sugar and spice and everything nice, i.e. mixed berries and a donut glaze.
